Why should the succulent be repotted, and should the succulent be repotted when the pot is full

If the succulent pot is repotted, it is because the potting soil lacks nutrients, so it should be replaced. New nutrient soil to plant. Either there's a problem with the update, and it's going to be restarted. After pruning the roots, put them on the pot.

When it comes to succulents, everyone must be familiar with them, plus it is very easy to feed and does not take up space, which is the first choice for many people to raise flowers and plants, but many people have the question of whether to change the pot when raising succulents, let's take a look.

Since most of the succulents on the market are repotted according to their growth status, if your succulents are full, you will need to repot. Succulents are generally changed every two years or so, and decisions are made according to the size of the pots. The reason why it is recommended to change the pot of the succulent once in about two years is because the succulent generally does not need to be fertilized, and the peat soil is planted with a variety of granular stones mixed with the soil, and the nutrients in the peat soil are basically absorbed in about two years, and then the potting and soil can be changed to ensure the normal growth of the succulent.

If the succulent plant grows relatively large, even larger than the diameter of the pot, it is also recommended to repot it immediately, if it is not replaced, it will limit its normal growth.

Succulents are very easy to feed, as long as you grasp his habit characteristics, he is easy to raise to burst pots, after all, most of the succulents are easy to grow side buds, after a long period of breeding, the branches will slowly lignify, and the side buds will become very crowded, gradually forming a burst pot and group state, at this time you need to consider changing the pot and properly divide and trim.

Prepare pots You don't need a particularly large pot to grow succulents, depending on the size of the crown of the succulent, choose the right size pot. Novices can choose plastic thick black square pots for raising more meat, which are cheap, available in various sizes, and placed clean and neat.

Soil mix Succulents are grown in arid areas. Therefore, when we select soil for it, we use loose and breathable granular soil, generally peat-based, with an appropriate amount of coconut peat, perlite, vermiculite, maifan stone and other granular substrates. If it is convenient to collect the soil by yourself, you can also use loose and fertile garden soil, humus soil, pine needle soil, and add some coarse sand and briquette slag to improve the effect.

Preparation for potting In order to better grow the succulent after repotting, we need to prune her roots before potting, and then place the succulent plant in a cool and ventilated place to dry the wound before potting.

Succulents are best repotted in spring and autumn each year.

Because the temperature in these two seasons is not high or low, the success rate of changing pots is very high, the temperature in summer is high, the growth of plants enters a dormant state, it is not easy to survive at this time, and the temperature is low in winter, and it is very difficult to change pots.

Before preparing to repot the succulent, stop watering at this time to ensure that the soil is dry, so that it is easier to depot. Then loosen the soil for the plant, take it out of the pot, and then put it in a pot with clean water, let the roots soak in water, and wash away the sticky soil, which can remove the germs and insect eggs that may be carried in the original soil. After washing the roots, you need to carefully inspect them, then use scissors to cut off the bad roots, and put the plants in a ventilated place to dry.

Succulent farming methods

1. Illumination. Succulents are very light-loving, and should be placed in a well-lit environment and bask in more sunlight during the maintenance period. Spring, autumn and winter can be safely exposed to light, and the condition of the flesh will be better and more beautiful if there is enough light.

The light in summer is too strong, so it should be avoided in time and not exposed to the sun, otherwise it is easy to get sunburned. If it is left in the shade for a long time, the flesh will grow.

2. Temperature. Succulents like a warm environment, have high temperature requirements, high temperature resistance and cold tolerance, so the temperature should be well controlled during the maintenance period. The temperature suitable for them to grow is between 15 and 25.

When the high temperature exceeds 30 in summer, ventilation must be strengthened. In winter, when the temperature is lower than 10, it is necessary to move indoors and control the temperature reasonably, otherwise it will be frostbitten.

3. Watering. Succulents already contain a lot of water and are drought tolerant, so you don't need to water too often during the maintenance period, and it is best to hydrate according to the method of seeing dry and wet. When watering, you need to water along the edge of the pot, or use the soaking method, and do not leave water at the core of the leaves.

In addition, many succulent varieties in summer and winter have entered the dormant stage, and the water should be strictly controlled, and the overall state should be kept dry to avoid root rot.
